    You and me both. I've been using RoboHelp since Blue Sky owned it, and I'm sick of it. Never bothered to upgrade to X5 from 9.2 ($500? $1000 just for .NET features?! I don't think so.)

    I just completed a project that needed two versions of the help file for two versions of the application, and I was well and truly annoyed by RoboHelp's inability to generate two different tag-based TOCs on the fly. That, and the fact that after delivery I discovered that the client needed HTML help to integrate with a C# GUI, instead of WinHelp, and RoboHelp completely botched the conversion. I ended up spending days fixing the conversion (without billing the client, I might add), instead of hours.

    Have you signed up for the beta tests?

    Yes, I signed up, but I'm only accepted as a sneak preview user. So I have to wait for that. I'm currently relying heavily on the FrameMaker/WebWorks solution. Unfortunately, this solution is getting a little dated as I wait for Adobe to add some actually useful features to FrameMaker.
